Just as the flood receded from Guli Town, Gubin City, far away in the upper reaches of the Gu River, finally received a report from Guli Town.

However, this report, it has been three full days since the accident in Gu Lizhen.

With the arrival of the first report, for the next two days, Ringu, the governor of the city of Tanihama, was in a state of panic.

Imperial Valley City, inside the Consulate.

At this time, Lin Gu was pacing back and forth, looking very anxious and uneasy, and next to him was the ruler of Gu Li Town, Wu Li.

"Lao Lin, I really have no choice, you have made such a big move, now that Guli Town is ruined, and the books sent down on it are also lost, I can only come to ask you for help now. It was Wu Li who spoke, and although he was still wearing the unique costume of the Flame Empire at this time, wearing a flame-red top hat, beads of sweat were still flowing from his face. And his fat body, which was also in the chair of the consulate at this time, looked so incongruous.

"Don't worry, the Lin family has a layout in all parts of the empire, even if there is a problem in Guli Town, we can put the responsibility on the Luo family, or lead it to the little emperor's Longqing. After all, the sudden appearance of the dragon this time is also related to the previous poor arrival in the imperial capital. When the time comes, throw these things to the emperor and see what he can say about you. Ringu said, and stopped.

"Is the strength of the Lin family enough? If such a big thing happens, we will definitely not be able to run away if you come down, I am the ruler of Guli Town, and you are the ruler of Hubin City, and you can't get rid of it. In case a few other companies make a move......"

"Hmph! impossible!" Before Wu Li's words could be finished, Lin Gu immediately interrupted him.

"Now all parts of the empire are our people, you say, what is the Luo family? It's just the southern capital and the Jiang Mansion. What about the Yang family? The affairs of the western realm are enough for them to be busy. As for the Wu family, aren't you right next to me now, so what's so scary about you?" said Lin Gu, walking straight to his desk and sitting down. Then he opened the drawer under the table and pulled out an object.

Wu Li looked carefully, and the object was a firecracker.

"Lao Lin, if I'm not mistaken, this firebolt was created by your Lin family's craftsmen last year, and it is the most advanced firebolt in the empire. What do you think?" Wu Li looked at Huo Gong and said, but he didn't finish his words, but instead showed a smile on the corner of his mouth, this smile hid a conspiracy.

"That's right, since you also know what the Lin family is going to do, your Wu family will find a way to cooperate. But now, I'm going to have to take you to find someone with similar attributes to me, and if we can bring him in, our chances of success will be doubled. Lin Gu said, but the voice behind him became smaller and smaller, so small that only he and Wu Li could hear it.

"Where is it? Wu family or Yang family?" Wu Li asked.

"No, it's a Westerner. Lin Gu said, gradually got up, and approached Wu Li, at this time, Lin Gu's face was less than ten centimeters away from Wu Li's face. And his voice was so small that only two people could hear it at such a distance.

"Who are the Westerners?" Hearing this, Wu Li stood up directly, and it was obvious that he had his own resistance and doubts about the Westerners.

"His name is Carl, and he's in the dungeon of Valley City. As for whether he can cooperate well, we'll find out if we go and see. Ringu said. After saying that, he walked directly out of the door of your room in the consul, and Wu Li followed him closely and walked out.

However, at this moment, Ringu did not notice that his firearm was not taken back into the drawer, but was forgotten on the table in his anxiety and pride. Wu Li, who was behind him, glanced back, but did not remind Lin Gu.

Flame Empire Valley City, in the dungeon.

At this time, Carl, since his arrest, has been locked up in the dungeon of Taniba City. This level is seven days.

During these seven days, Karl's ears were filled with the sounds of interrogation and whipping, and when these voices disappeared, the sound of drops of water quickly took over.

Carl knew that if the sound of water was not from the leak of the bucket, it must come from blood, from the lives that were about to disappear into the dungeon.

During these seven days, Karl was interrogated more than a dozen times, and without exception, he was severely whipped after or during the interrogation, even though he was the ruler of the imperial capital.

Moreover, in this dungeon, Carl can clearly feel that any demonic power around him is suppressed. In his opinion, this kind of repression should be some kind of weapon originating from the territory of the empire, and this weapon should also have the effect of banning demons for a long time.

However, by this time, due to the prolonged starvation and whipping, Carl's physical strength had almost reached its limit. After the latest whipping, Carl finally couldn't take it anymore and fell asleep in the dungeon.

However, even so, he did not reveal a single word, including any news about Long Qing.

While he was in a coma, the sturdy door of the dungeon was slowly opened.

Walking in from outside the door was none other than Lin Gu and Wu Li.

"My lord!" Seeing the rulers of Tanihama City and Tanari Town, the imperial soldiers in the dungeon hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"No need, let me ask you, where is that Westerner Karl being held now?" Ringu asked the soldier, and at the same time motioned to Wu Li and the soldier, and walked towards the interior of the dungeon.

The dungeon of Tanihama City, built from the top down. The first floor of the dungeon is above ground, while the rest of the dungeon is all set underground. Because it is to hold prisoners who are related to the imperial capital or extremely important, there is generally no communication with the outside world.

The door that Lin Gu and Wu Li entered was the door from the first floor of the dungeon to the second floor, and after opening the door, they had to go through a long spiral staircase to finally lead to the second floor. Therefore, Ringu did not want to waste time on it, but planned to go downstairs and ask about Karl at the same time.

"We questioned him for seven days, and he didn't say a word or eat much. I just asked once this morning, and now I guess I'm going to start asking again. But it is estimated that he still won't say anything. The soldier replied, but from his tone it was not difficult to hear an invisible admiration for Karl.

"I don't need you today, you send a few people to guard the door of his room, and Lord Wu and I will ask in person. Also, no matter what method is used, you can't let him die, and if he dies, you can't live. Ringu ordered the soldier, but at the same time, he could hear the soldier's tone. However, he doesn't want to talk about a possible cooperation with Carl, at least, if the cooperation fails, something that Carl knows will be their bargaining chips in the future.

Finally, after walking through the narrow spiral steps from the first to the second floor, the door to the second floor of the dungeon appeared in front of Ringu. Carl was imprisoned here.
